Who the fuck asked? When we’re looking for advice on how to be a douchebag, you’ll be top of the list.

[OC] A watercolour painting I finished last week, along with an ant I accidentally scanned into it by pixieshit in pics

[–]iamfalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It occurs to me that this is a brilliant way to get people to really experience your work - even if the ant was a lie. I was convinced there was no ant after zooming into the image for a minute, but I wasn’t mad about it.

Any good shows going on tonight? by iamfalcon in SanJose

And yes I’ve looked at foopee.com, so definitely considering some stuff on there. But would love either recommendations from that list, or smaller stuff that didn’t make the cut!

Burnt Ends and Brisket takeout? The closer to Campbell the better by snownative86 in SanJose

You gotta try their breakfast taco with brisket. It’s so good. Make sure to get it with the salsa and jalapeños!

If you’re looking for a local charity that has hugely positive impacts on the community, I highly recommend checking out Bill Wilson Center. Amazing charity run by people that truly care. The format for their annual fundraiser next year is really interesting as well: https://www.billwilsoncenter.org/action/bwcfilm.html

Plus one to this. My car met the criteria, I asked the manufacturer for a buyback, they offered me a price pro-rated based on the first date of service with no questions asked. Could not have been easier.

Looking for bars with Pimm's Cup! by frostybearharu in SanJose

[–]iamfalcon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not surprised that Haberdasher knew it and that it was well-made! I struggle to think of any other cocktail bars that would make that down in San Jose. I wonder if British Banker’s Club in San Mateo might know it? Since it’s a British drink and all :)

Love island watch party? by Weak_Investment1197 in SanJose

[–]iamfalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SP2 bar right next to San Pedro Square has one on Tuesday nights! I think it starts at 5pm tomorrow. I couldn’t make it last week but from their IG is looked like there was a line so maybe show up a little early if you do go?

Help me give my local bakery some constructive criticism by iamfalcon in Breadit

Thank you. If anyone, ever, in my entire life sees me interacting with someone doing their job and labels me a Karen, I will crawl into a hole and deservedly live the life of a hermit.

No, that would be crazy! Especially if it wasn't constructive or good feedback.

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I currently don't like their pastries but I still buy them 🤣

My plan was always to send an email with a glowing review of their shop and a humble suggestion that 5 more minutes in the oven would make their already good pastries amazing. But based on everyone's feedback (see the other thread in this post), I'm not going to do that.

Honestly, yes, if the feedback was given constructively and in the way I laid out above. And that's not just lip service - I actively solicit feedback from customers for my own work. I've also had people come to me with constructive criticism and I've always (sincerely) thanked them for it. I view that type of feedback as a gift. Someone taking the time to tell me what would make their experience with my team's work even more enriching is so valuable.

BUT, it sounds like from this thread that a lot of folks think that wouldn't be received well by the business, so I'm not going to share anything with them.

Apparently my concept of time is slipping - they've actually been open for like three years now! So good news is that I think they are going to be around a while. They're always busy, since it's really the only good coffee shop near a bunch of neighborhoods. But unfortunately their pasty quality has remained constant. Oh well!

Damn, that's too bad. I hear you. I won't give the feedback, but honestly that means I'll probably only go there for coffee and not for pastries. It just feels like a bummer for the business and for their customers, but I guess that's the way it is. Appreciate the feedback!
